Program Manager - Smart Buildings

WeWork Mission

WeWork is the platform for creators, providing hundreds of thousands of members around the world with space, community, and services that enable them to do what they love and create their life's work. Our mission is to create a world where people work to make a life, not just a living, and our own team members are central to that goal.

About the team

The Building Automation team sits within the Building Technology mission in the Technology group. Our mission is to make every building system work in harmony with our community. We achieve this by working with other Technology teams to integrate all BMS and control systems into a common data engine, deploying connected sensors and devices to monitor space conditions, displaying the right information and control points in the right applications for our members, community and facilities teams, and developing rules engines and machine learning applications to remove the need for manual decisions and actions.

About the role

The key focus of this role will be working with our Core Platform team to integrate building systems (BMS, Lighting, IoT) into our Building Kit data engine. The Program Manager will be the subject matter expert on these systems to support our software engineering teams. You will pilot these projects in one building, and then develop and oversee plans for a rollout across our fleet. The Program Manager will need to think at a global scale across multitudes of different systems and protocols.

The ideal candidate will have been in the weeds as a controls integrator before moving on to help push forward the open-source IoT controls philosophy.

Lead workgroup alignment meetings to make key decisions, remove obstacles, and address key program issues. Be the key driver to ensure business goals are met and support the strategic vision of each program.

Anticipate and purposefully remove obstacles that slow down or prevent project teams from delivering on project goals

Be a thought leader who can help advance our Smart Building Technology and Automation strategy globally both internally and externally

You need to have

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

Because we do business with the government, we must reach out to, hire, and provide equal opportunity to qualified people with disabilities1. To help us measure how well we are doing, we are asking you to tell us if you have a disability or if you ever had a disability. Completing this form is voluntary, but we hope that you will choose to fill it out. If you are applying for a job, any answer you give will be kept private and will not be used against you in any way.

If you already work for us, your answer will not be used against you in any way. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we are required to ask all of our employees to update their information every five years. You may voluntarily self-identify as having a disability on this form without fear of any punishment because you did not identify as having a disability earlier.

How do I know if I have a disability?

You are considered to have a disability if you have a physical or mental impairment or medical condition that substantially limits a major life activity, or if you have a history or record of such an impairment or medical condition.
